  • 37. Empowering Single Moms in Parenting & Purpose w/ Dr. Catricia
    Dr Catricia, pediatrician and fellow mom-trepreneur joins us today in a conversation about empowerment in single motherhood. The term “it takes a village to raise a child” is something that all mamas can relate too, and it is no different for single mothers. Single mamas need that village even more despite the “strong independent woman” trope that is implemented on them. Listen in to this podcast to hear how you can uplift and empower the single moms around you, and if you are a single mom then listen in on how you can learn to feel empowered in your own motherhood.

  • 34. Empowering Pregnancy & Birth Preparation w/ Dr. Nicole Rankins

    Having a baby is a life changing experience in so many ways, and being prepared for being a mother as well as the entire pregnancy journey is so important. As mothers, a part of this preparation is staying aware of the hardships that come with the pregnancy journey, especially if you are a woman of color. Whether that be micro-aggressions in the hospital, lack of compassion from the people around you, or any other unethical treatment you may go through due to being a woman in this society. Pregnancy should be an empowering time of any Mamas life, and in order to make it that way, being mentally and physically prepared for anything will definitely come in handy! Tune into this episode where I talk with Dr. Nicole Rankins as she gives you tips on not only how to be prepared, but how to be empowered in your pregnancy.
